What a class! The 6-10 Simonovich outscored Halldorson 35-4 in the state tournament and went on to play at the U. Halldorson played for Colorado and had a productive post-college career. Horan played for Dayton U and the Minneapolis Lakers.

Grow finished up as the all-time leading scorer and rebounder in Minnesota. Cronk and Grow played at the U, Jirele was point guard for St. Bonaventure when the Bonnies were rated as high as #3 in the nation in 1961. Malmar was more of a football QB, Mattson played hoops at UMD.

As we re-launch MN Hoops, we will be posting under 3 main topics: MN Hoops Today, 100 Years of Boys High School Ball, and The Lists. In order to keep track of our content, I'd suggest you click on each of those 3 labels in turn to see what's under each. Thanks for reading.

About Me

History in the Making: About MinnesotaHoops.com

I co-wrote Minnesota Hoops in 2006 with my friend Stew Thornley. We were able to cover the 2006 season only in passing, and of course the book does not encompass the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Minnesota basketball seasons.

Ergo, MinnesotaHoops.com, which picks up where the book left off. I've written summaries of those seasons so that readers of Minnesota Hoops are kept up-to-date. I've also added information that didn't fit in the book.

And, now, for 2009-2010, there is a daily recap of key games--it's the stuff of the next history of basketball in Minnesota, and it's unfolding right before our eyes.

Thanks for visiting. Please leave a comment so I know you've been here!
